Welcome to a new understanding of health. Today, we unravel the surprising link between podiatry and cardiovascular health. The Manhattan Podiatry Group has led the way in this innovative exploration. We’re not just looking at feet anymore. We’re looking at the heart. And it’s changing everything.
The Connection: Feet and Heart
It’s easy to think our body parts work alone, but they are linked. Our feet, for example, can tell us about our heart’s health. Swelling in the feet can signal heart problems. Foot ulcers can reveal poor blood flow.
The Research
Studies back up this connection. The Centers for Disease Control reports that changes in foot health can predict cardiovascular issues. So, when we care for our feet, we also care for our hearts.
